I limited myself to the 2S which is how I kept it "reasonable," but yeah, you can really go crazy with that stupid customizer...

They really suck you in with that base price, though. $78k... sweet! I might be able to afford a 911!

The new Boxster really looks amazing and I can't wait to see the next gen Cayman, which should look even better. If I were to ever get a Porsche, it would be used and a few years old.

I don't think I'm the only person here that does that (openly talks about future cars... and talks themselves out of it).

It's important therapy because there are a lot of us that will price out cars that we really shouldn't be pricing out... and maybe we're mentally unstable enough to actually go out and make a pretty bad financial decision.

What you have to do is price it out and then subtract 5 from the model year

Steve where are these meetings. I think I might have a problem too...

Admitting it is the first step right.

The new boxster does look good but I'm not sold. Porsche is the 911 and that's what I'd get but then again at the price after options(car and drivers test of one hit 133k for a 2S!!) on one there's a lot else I'd get....

Audi R8 v8 is right there
AM v8
ZR1
GTR
Maserati gran turismo I think is probably on the high end new but a year or two old
You could probably find an older gallardo close to the 100k price too.
And I'm the biggest convertible fan there is. And most of those arent at close to the 100k area

I mean we are talking about these things as toys right?

I'd personally rather have an R8 or GT-R than a 911, but that's just me.

The R8 is not in the same class as the boxster and costs almost twice as much. It's only really competing with the 911 and maybe a fully loaded Cayman R if you just look at price.

The zippers on my jacket are made of the same material the cayman r has for door handles.....
